Trump: Nominating Wray ‘Probably Was’ a Mistake, Christie Recommended Him
Breitbart ^ | 07/14/2023 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 07/14/2023 7:06:26 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

During a portion of an interview set to air on Sunday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Sunday Morning Futures” that was aired on Friday’s broadcast of FBN’s “Mornings with Maria,” 2024 presidential candidate former President Donald Trump stated that “it probably was” a mistake for him to nominate Christopher Wray to be FBI Director during his term and Wray “was recommended very strongly” by 2024 GOP rival former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

Host Maria Bartiromo introduced the clip of the interview by stating, “President Trump reacting to this week’s Judiciary Committee hearing with FBI Director Christopher Wray. I spoke with the 45th President…we started our conversation with a look at the upcoming debate and whether he will participate, and I got his reaction to the FBI Director defending [against] the charges of weaponization and [politicization] at the FBI.”

PT can be criticized for the mistakes headed. However, that is past. Going forward is what important.

Yes, Bannon was President Trump’s best strategist and protector.

Christie is hardly trying to get the nomination. He’s just there to go after Trump for the Establishment.

Because Mike Pence wasn't up to the task.

Makes no difference that Christie recommended him (other than that being a clear disqualified). Kushner led the committee that made the ultimate staffing recommendations for the Trump admin—and he filled it with financiers from Goldman and the Rothschilds, along with militast, Justice and State Deep Staters throughout.

But somehow conservatives explain it all away in their minds.

"Christie is hardly trying to get the nomination. He’s just there to go after Trump for the Establishment. Why was he on Trump’s debate prep team in 2020?"

Because Krispy had role-played Cankles on President Trump's debate team in 2016 and apparently had done a fairly good job, and no one else wanted to play Biden. Rudy wanted a full-bore attack on Hunter so no Biden for him.

There is a specific set of words Trump could use, face-to-face, to make the Zombie flip. out. Get physical. Or another specific set of words to cause Bidendropov to lock up and go full sunset, maybe even Scooby Van. President Trump said last week "The gloves are off." Here's hoping Stephen Miller crafts Trump's verbal responses this time as triggers.

All of these appointments have to be confirmed by the Senate. McConnell and the leadership wanted Sessions. He told Trump they wouldn’t confirm anybody else.

Trump had to settle for only 6 months of Ratcliffe at DNI because the senate wouldn’t confirm him then he rotated Miller in for 6 months. Its not as easy as you would think.

The Senate and House are pretty much globalist uniparty.

The other thing to keep in mind is that Trump was never a politician. He didn’t have 20 or more years in the legislature or 8 years in a governorship to establish a cadre of party connected cohorts to surround himself with and fill cabinet positions like regular politicians do. So he had to rely on guys like Christie who he thought was a friend to suggest good candidates. He got played.

Now Trump has wised up. He won’t be repeating mistakes of his first term.

“All of these appointments have to be confirmed by the Senate. McConnell and the leadership wanted Sessions. He told Trump they wouldn’t confirm anybody else.”

He should have gone public with this then. He should have howled on social media what McConnell was doing and asked his supporters to contact any of their senators who agreed to go along with it. They should have been threatened with a primary challenger and cut off from donations.

It may not have worked but at least he would have been fighting instead of just accepting whatever names McConnell put in front of him.

Trumps mistake was thinking he could works with the GOP leadership and bring them around. Now he knows better. He’s going to clean house.

In that case, you tell them to go F themselves and rotate acting directors until they’ve had enough and confirm your picks.


Yes that is what Trump should have done, It was a mistake for him not to.

So, since Wray is so bad, has DeSantis said he would fire Wray. ?

Ans/. Yes he has.

If DeSantis breaks his promise and keeps Wray, does that mean DeSantis is Swamp ?

If DeSantis wins..the only reason he wins.. is because deep state..with the aid from fake neww.. has managed..in the course of 6+ years.. to destroy Trump in the first place.

Or, Trump would be finishing his second term and DeSantis may or may not win 2024.

Yes. I’d have more confidence that DeSantis would actually follow through.

I said yes, but it’s interesting how the guy who hired him in the first place because he wanted to be a nice guy and be unified with the Democrats escapes the same label no matter what.

Sessions, Wray, Pence...so many.

When you’re from the outside, no doubt they all raised no flags. Trump didn’t have a reliable, seasoned core group with real insider information, yet completely loyal to him. Other than Flynn, and they worked with Pence to get him gone, then kept up the beating. Still steams me what they did to him!!!

Tough position to be in. It’s truly remarkable how much he accomplished, fighting upstream the entire time. Getting stabbed from all angles, constantly. And getting up, dusting himself off, and right back into the ring. He ain’t human.

Trump’s a King.

Agreed. More & more I think when he’s elected, he needs to appoint billionaires like Vivek so they can be independent. When you have people like Desantis, Pence, Christie etc., they’re beholden to their donors. My son worked for Wilbur Ross & while he had to change parties from a Democrat to Republican, he was all about business. Unfortunately I don’t know that he’ll be around for the next term.
